"I know there's a lot of room for me to continue to improve," Clark said after the Fever were knocked out of the playoffs by the Connecticut Sun. "I feel like I had a solid year, but for me, the fun part is I feel like I'm just scratching the surface." This speaks to how Clark holds high expectations for herself despite an already impressive rookie season, showcasing her drive and ambition.
Her strong finish to the season also propelled the Fever through the WNBA standings after Indiana began the season 1-8. Coach Christie Sides compared their poor start to 'getting punched in the mouth,' highlighting the significant turnaround in performance as the season progressed.
Caitlin Clark is the first rookie in WNBA history to have 25/5/5 in a playoff game. This highlights her historic contributions and sets a precedent for future rookies in the league.
After averaging 16.2 points, 6.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game in the first 20 contests, she averaged 22.3 points, 10.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game in the second half of the regular season. This significant improvement underscores Clark's growth and effectiveness as the season unfolded.
